Bible Commentaries

1 Kings 17:8 — And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, And the word of the Lord. — See 1 Kings 17:2 .

2 Chronicles 15:1 — Y el Espíritu de Dios descendió sobre Azarías hijo de Oded: Ver. 1. El hijo de Oded. ] Alias Iddo el vidente.

2 Chronicles 9:28 — Y trajeron a Salomón caballos de Egipto y de todas las tierras. Ver. 28. Y trajeron. ] Ver 1 Reyes 10:28 .

Job 42:10 — trial and experience he found them much increased. As for outward things, it is nothing unusual for men to recover and recruit as far as God seeth fit. Retulit in melius; multos alterna revisens Lusit, et in solido rursus fortuna locavit (Virg. Aen. l. 11). The best way is to hang loose to these things below, not trusting in uncertain riches, but in the living God, 1 Timothy 6:17 , who will be our exceeding great reward, and give to his sufferers a hundred fold here, and eternal life hereafter, Matthew

Psalms 1:5 — the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment — i.e. Causa cadent et damnabuntur, at the great assizes they shall be cast and condemned. Vix steteris (Terent.). Revelation 6:17 , "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" "If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?" 1 Peter 4:18 . Surely nowhere, but in hell, their own place, Acts 1:25:

Psalms 22:1 — — On, The morning hart or stag; such a one as the huntsman severs out in the morning from the rest, to hunt for that day. It showeth, saith one, David’s and Christ’s early and incessant persecution and hunting (by those dogs, Psalms 22:16 ) till they came to their kingdoms. David had his share of sharp afflictions, doubtless, when he penned this psalm: witness that graphic description of his greatest grief in all parts and powers of body and soul, Psalms 22:14-16 , … But his

Isaiah 55:2 — and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? — Heb., For not bread; for that which can no more feed you than those husks could the hungry prodigal. Luke 15:16 “ Turpe est difficiles habere nugas: Et stultus labor est ineptiarum. ” - Martial. The saying of the Roman general to the soldier that kept the tents, when he should have been fighting in the field, Non amo nimium diligentes, I love

Ezekiel 13:1 — And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, And the word of the Lord. — See on Ezekiel 12:1 .

Hosea 13:2 — change they repent not, but run more and more into idolatry. Not content to worship Baal and such heathen deities, They make them molten images of their silver — They laid their money together, to make the golden calves, or silver shrines, as Acts 19:24 , and other idolatrous trinkets; they lavished silver out of the bag, and were at no small charge. They multiplied their altars, Hosea 10:1 , and abused God’s gold and silver to mystical adultery, Hosea 2:8 . All this they did now, saith the

Joel 2:12 — willingness and velleity, but it doth not boil up to the full height of resolution to return. The prodigal changed many places ere he came home. Many came out of Egypt that yet never came into Canaan. With all your heart — With the heart, Jeremiah 4:14 Proverbs 23:26 , and with the whole heart, in opposition to a divided heart, Hosea 10:2 , a double heart, James 4:8 , a heart and a heart, Psalms 12:2 . This whole heart is elsewhere called a true heart, Hebrews 10:22 , a perfect heart, 2 Chronicles

Amos 6:10 — to bury or burn their dead corpses. So Seneca in Oedipo. “ portat hunc aeger parens Supremum ad ignem, mater hunc amens gerit, Properatque ut alium regerat in eundem rogum. ” To bring out the bones out of the house — For burial, as 1 Samuel 31:13 , the flesh being first burnt. Bones are a part of a man’s body; and therefore to be committed to the earth, or laid up in a safe place, as Joseph’s were, Exodus 13:19 Joshua 24:32 , and with his, the rest of the patriarchs

Amos 8:11 — new thing in the earth when Israel should want the word; Israel, to whom were committed the oracles of God; Israel, to whom God had spoken "by the mouth of his holy prophets, which had been since the world begun," in a sweet succession, Luke 1:70 . See my True Treasure. "He made known his ways to Moses, his acts and monuments to the children of Israel," Psalms 103:7 . Yet even these, who had the cornucopia of God’s word, shall now suffer a famine of it; they shall have cause

Micah 3:7 — doctors and schoolmen, who once carried the hell for most acute and accurate divines, but now appear to be great triflers; a rotten generation of dunghilldivines, as one styleth them: in detestation of whose vain jangling and noting about questions, 1 Timothy 6:4 , Luther saith, Prope est ut iurem, …, I could swear almost that there was not a schoolman that understood one chapter of the Gospel (Luth. tom. 1, oper. lat. eph 47). Latimer professed that by hearing Bilney’s confession he

Micah 3:8 — are the most timorous; as the stag, panther, hare. For answer, it must be considered that the prophet speaketh not here of his own good parts, out of a vain glorious humour (it was enough for him that he was "all glorious within," Psalms 45:13 , virtusque sue contenta theatre est ), but to separate himself from those false prophets aforementioned, and to assert his calling by his qualifications, as doth likewise St Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:1-13 , to those who sought a proof of Christ speaking

Micah 4:10 — sensible of thine ensuing captivity, and take on; but yet with hope of a gracious deliverance in due time. See Trapp on " Micah 4:9 " It is no less a fault to despise the chastening of the Lord than to faint when thou art rebuked, Hebrews 12:5 . The hypocrite in heart heapeth up wrath, saith Elihu, and why? he crieth not when God bindeth him, Job 36:13 . The wicked, saith Hannah, are silent in darkness, and shall therefore lie down in sorrow, 1 Samuel 2:9 Isaiah 50:10 . This is not patience,

Nahum 1:7 — The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. The Lord is good — To Israel (though terrible to the Assyrians, as hath been plainly and plentifully set forth), to the pure in heart, Psalms 73:1 , and he doth good, Psalms 119:68 , to those that are good, that are upright in their hearts, Psalms 125:4 . These shall taste and see that the Lord is good: these shall feelingly say, "Oh, blessed is the man that trusteth in him," Psalms

Zechariah 8:18 — And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying, And the word — See Trapp on " Zechariah 8:1 "

Luke 11:16 — And others, tempting him , sought of him a sign from heaven. See Matthew 12:38 ; Matthew 16:1 ; Mark 3:24 .

Luke 11:16 — Y otros, tentándolo, le pedían una señal del cielo. Ver. 16. Ver Mateo 12:38 ; Mateo 16:1 ; Marco 3:24 .

2 Corinthians 10:17 — Pero el que se gloría, gloríese en el Señor. Ver. 17. Gloria en el Señor ] Ver Trapp en " 1Co 1:31 "
